Hatto-Mayor. Home of the rancher met at Pajarito.

Haitian

Puello brought Déchapte, at the customs house, twelve men to reinforce him. Then he got into the ferry, accompanied by Henri Duartes, went over to Pajarito on the other side of the river, and was much surprised to find there neither the forces of los Llanos nor the national company of Pajarito and of las Minas. He saw only one man there, who told him that he had with him a hattier from Hatto-Mayor. He went to this man and recognized Manuel Santana, captain of cavalry, who had been initiated into the conspiracy. Santana said that the movement was not known at Seybo, but that he was going back there to rouse the people after coming to an understanding with the Santanas. Puello returned to the Porte del Conde, where the insurgents had broken open the storehouses of the port and taken from them powder and balls, of which they had quickly made cartridges and cannon cartridges with their own hands.
